<p>Thanks Jrock! I found the comprehension passages mostly straightforward, except for the last one, which used metaphor and was a bit difficult to interpret...but overall I found that the study guides I used prepared my really well, I swear some of the questions were the same - pton review and barron's, former for the grammar review, latter for the practice and more grammar!</p>
<p>If you want to practice for comprehension, just read lots of french stuff, read the french newspapers, for example, and you'll find the passages pretty simple :)</p>
<p>I'm not a native speaker, I actually took up French 3 years ago,I think It's not necessary to be a native speaker to do well on the SAT. In contrary to let's say DELF or DALF, SAT does not have the speaking part.. :)</p>
<p>i agree amaranto, i think success on sat2 french depends absolutely on a solid grammar foundation and not necessarily on fluency in the language.....grats!</p>
<p>congrats amaranto!!! :) I'm not a native speaker either, I just studied up on all those nasty grammar rules and carried around a box of vocab cards for a couple of weeks, lol! </p>
<p>I thought that Barron's listening practice was ridiculously easy, but I still think you need it if you are taking listening, just so you know what to expect...as for general level of difficulty, I was getting around 800 on barron's practice tests, and a bit less on pr, so I guess they are both fairly accurate</p>
<p>hey marina_b, i have to memorize to perfection all those rules, and i think flashcards won't be a bad idea either.....cos those rules can take you through no1 - 60 without getting a single question wrong....then you can afford to lose 7-8 points on comprehension.....i can imagine the thrill of making 800, wow....hoping...</p>
<p>jess0128, my advice would be to take practice tests, and just get used to looking at a question and checking what rules apply to it - like ask yourself, does this past participle need to agree with the subject, does this sentence need qui or que, etc, so you won't miss anything...sometimes translating a sentence into english can help, especially with vocab, just to make sure it makes sense...and read through comprehension passages a few times to make sure you get the gist of what they're trying to say</p>
<p>good luck, and again good luck Jrock!! you're right, just cut down slip-ups on the grammar section, and you should be fine :)</p>
<p>A key to success in language SATIIs is listening skills. I did a Rassias Immersion (from Dartmouth) and it is amazing. Really helped me. They have one in Greenwich CT and in CA and Boston this spring. Call them at 603-643-7674 or <a href="http://www.rassiasgroup.com%5B/url%5D">www.rassiasgroup.com</a></p>
